It has been several years since I fished it, but don't get hung up on fishing the DHALO area. There are stockers and beaver creek wash-downs spread throughout, and many of them don't have tourist kids from Ohio doing cannonballs on them.
Early(and late) in the year, before(and after) it becomes a big swimming hole, the lower stretches can produce big fish.
Ohiopyle, and really the Laurel Highlands region, is a zoo on the weekends from memorial day through labor day.
Bug-wise, it has most of your typical smaller mountain stream bugs, nothing out of the ordinary for the area. 3 or 4 sizes of parachute adams and 3 or 4 sizes/colors of caddis and you will be fine. They aren't wild fish that only want size 14 cripples of a specific shade of yellow. They are stockers, more or less. If you want a decent shot at a big river fish, I would suggest going and throwing heavy streamers at or near the mouth right before dark.
